Interesting, but Dorothy Lee needed to be mentioned more! A Customer This book was very interesting however, it hardly covered Fred Waring's long relationship with 1930s actress Dorothy Lee. Dorothy was a very talented and vivacious actress.Dorothy Lee was engaged to Mr. Waring on and off over the years and they were a pretty hot item back then. She also toured all over America and Canada with him and the Pennsylvanians, and did many stage shows with them. She and Fred also remained very good friends for the remainder of his life.They were very much in love in the. Scott Loftesness (lofty@ehb.belps.org) said Interesting, but one sided view of the man. This book is a facinating read about the famous choral conductor and his Pennsylvanians, during the early days of radio, television and film. Many amusing and interesting anectdotes punctuate the book throughout. Written by his wife, so it is a rather one-sided (positive) view of the man who many saw as a cold task master.but in whom no one could argue with the fine product he produced. This man truly "taught America how to sing".. "Fascinating inside look" according to Richard Huggins.

"This book made me miss Fred all over again. His music, his fun, his personality, his adventures It's a fascinating story of show business from the early days to the present. I love it!" Mort Walker, creator of Beetle Bailey
Famous American, chorus leader, showman, glee club pioneer, golf tournament host, and entrepreneur. They range from Adam Geibel and Tom Waring's "Sleep," recorded in 1928, through Cole Porter's "Love for Sale," Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach's "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," the traditional "Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child" and "Dry Bones," to Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson's "September Song" and Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's "Some Enchanted Evening.". Fred Waring was all of these and more, an enigma who held together a major musical organization for sixty-seven years, a man at ease on stage but loathe to sit through meetings, a man so earnest in his patriotism that by the 1980s he was considered almost an endangered species. Virginia Waring, his wife of thirty years, chronicles both his many achievements and his shortcomings with candor and affection in Fred Wa
